ABOUT YEHWAN SONG

Yehwan Song is a Korean born, New York based web artist.

‘My primary focus in my projects is on exploring the discomfort and insecurity experienced by marginalized users, which is often hidden beneath the facade of technological utopianism, marked by excessive comfort, speed, and ease of use.

I satirize and critique the overgeneralization of users and the prevalence of templated websites by creating non-generic web interfaces and performing with these websites and devices. My work initiates conversations about the political and social backgrounds that have shaped the current uniform and templated web. It highlights the plight of users who lack fair and legitimate rights in the online environment due to their cultural, political, and linguistic backgrounds.

My work is a visual method of navigating between online and physical spaces. I create websites that foster new interactions between users and devices, including performances. Additionally, I craft physical installations and sculptures that visualize online spaces and phenomena in diverse materials and contexts, as well as online spaces informed by physical inputs.’ – Yehwan Song
